The cast of the beloved Nickelodeon series iCarly has pursued varied careers since the original show concluded in 2012.
Miranda Cosgrove, who starred as Carly Shay, graduated from USC with a psychology degree and continued her voice work in the Despicable Me franchise. She also starred in the 2025 Netflix rom-com The Wrong Paris. Cosgrove returned for the iCarly reboot, which was canceled after three seasons but is slated for a wrap-up movie, according to an EW interview in 2025.
Jennette McCurdy, who played Sam Puckett, released her best-selling memoir "I'm Glad My Mom Died" in 2022, detailing her challenging experiences as a child actor. She is now producing a limited series based on the book and released her fiction debut, Half His Age, in January 2026. McCurdy did not return for the iCarly reboot.
Nathan Kress, as Freddie Benson, has continued his voice acting career, notably on Star Wars Rebels, and has directed several episodes of the iCarly revival. He married London Moore in 2015 and they now have three children.
Jerry Trainor, known for his role as Spencer Shay, remains active in television, often playing eccentric characters and voicing animated roles. He also plays bass in the band Nice Enough People.
Noah Munck, who portrayed Gibby Gibson, expressed mixed feelings about his breakout role and has since focused on making music under the moniker Noah Praise God after a near-decade stint on The Goldbergs.
Reed Alexander, who played Nevel Papperman, transitioned from acting to journalism. He now works as a Wall Street correspondent for Insider and teaches journalism at the University of Miami, having lost his passion for acting.
Other cast members like Mary Scheer (Ms. Briggs) and Jeremy Rowley (Lewbert) have continued their careers in television and voice acting, with Scheer known for her work on MADtv and Rowley marrying Danielle Morrow, who played Nora Dershlit.
Bobby Bowman (T-Bo) has launched his own breakfast brand, Bronco Bagels, while Mindy Sterling (Ms. Briggs) remains a recognizable face in film and television, particularly for her role in the Austin Powers franchise.
